Looking good, don't think you are going to get much done in the next week or so with all the snow and cold temps we are looking at. Never seen those bumper supports but I am definitely looking at them for both of my 2g's.
Awesome, I begged my dad to purchase my first DSM and it was our bonding experience together. I hope you and your daughter get to enjoy this as much as I enjoyed spending time with my dad on my DSM. Like stated earlier, do a lot of reading. There have been so many different setups tried and...
According to your DSM profile and Hahn's website, the 10 PSI spring is the factory standard. I see options for a 5 PSI spring or a 15 PSI spring. I would say everything is working correctly. If you want to lower boost you are gonna have to order the 5 PSI spring and adjust your boost...
I agree with you Gary, it's very strange. I have gone backwards and forwards through the wiring diagrams and the only common link I find is the Cruise Control System and even then I find it very hard to believe it would create a connection the way the wiring is.
You should have the capacitor, if its not there I would want to know where that wire is at....that wire is hot and it could be grounding out.If you really can't find that, I would go search. That's actually a super common failure/goof up on dsmer's behalfs. Many forget to hook it up or pinch...
Disconnect the connector at the alternator, pull the coil pack, pull the power transistor, check the capacitor (noise filter) disconnecthe fuel pump relay or disconnect the fuel pump.
Other way around, homes are AC and cars are DC. You are kind of correct on the alternator. The alternator creates AC but there is a rectifier inside that converts the energy to DC.
Typically those kits are used because someone doesn't have very good heat. Believing they have build up in the heater core. You can sometimes flush it out and get heat again. Typically means cooling system wasn't maintained properly. If you aren't noticing any issues, replace the hose and...
Your multi meter is set to Volts AC needs to be Volts DC - squiggly line is AC (think Alternating Current) the flat line with straight dashes underneath is Volts DC (think Direct Current - Direct Line - Straight Line)Also NEVER jam the test leads in to a connector. You will damage the...
There is actually four wires as outputs from the ignition switch. Your black/red is power for the starter relay behind the center of the dash. Wiring at the starter SHOULDN'T be an issue as the relay shouldn't apply power until you turn the ignition switch to "CRANK" I would verify that no...
The picture you posted with the head light attached to the fuse box. All the black rectangles are relay's. For shits and giggles will you pull all the fan relays first. Then pull all of them.
The fat white wire is the actual power feeding in to the ignition switch. We don't care about that wire as of right now. We care about the outputs. Blue/Black is the output when the key is turned to the "Run" position. Do you have any tools or feel comfortable de-pinning that connector?
Ignition switch only feeds starter at "Crank" and alternator is not fed directly from ignition switch. Alternator is fed from fuse 5 and the 100 amp fuse for b+. If you have pulled all interior and exterior fuses and it's still blowing the ignition switch, I would imagine its on the feed...
Clarifying again, the fuse blows when you turn the ignition switch to "ON" correct? The fuse does not blow in "ACC" or "Start" necessarily. I do know you said one time it didn't blow until you started the car but the most common time for the fuse to blow was when you switched the vehicle to "ON"?
If the autometer gauge is just a mechanical gauge. Those two wires will be power and ground for the lighting that's it. Can't see it being a stepper because all of those are three wire gauges atleast IIRC.You have verified nothing has been wired in to the ignition switch wiring? That is the...
Won't be in attendance this year but planning to come next year. I picked up another DSM last winter and haven't had much time to work on it. No reason I can't bring both of my DSM's next year. Need as many clean DSM's at the event as we can gather. Have multiple friends who are planning on...
Post up a picture of the new print out. May take some time to get it exactly where you want. Only drawback of using washers under the bolts but hey it does work!
Alignments are based on ride height. Ageing of coil springs and suspension as well as lowering or raising the height of a car vastly change camber and toe.The car 16" option is just how the car was sold from the factory, won't change much on the alignment.As far as your rear camber, you...
Just about all of them. I have received pig tail kits with butt connectors and some where instructions or TSB's from the manufacturer REQUIRE soldering. Have never found a rhyme or reason. (Interior vs Powertrain, etc) Soldering is definitely a required skill to have but to be honest when...
Pico is the brand name - heat shrink butt connectors. I own an auto repair shop so I have tons of different tools for crimping as well. Making sure you get a good solid crimp is essential. Should be able to tug on the wires and not have them pull out of the connector. Then use a heat gun to...
Saying using a butt connector with anything more than an amp or two is a no-no is misinformation. That's all I ask that you not spread.As far as the butt connectors go. I have used butt connectors and solder in just about any circuit dealing with automotive. You must understand electrical...
Looks like fuse #2 in the engine compartment box.Try pulling the hazard light and tail light fuses as well. Factory wiring diagram is pretty hard to read but those 3 all feed the lights in different situations.
You need to see if the A/C is actually being requested. If it is then you should have voltage to the a/c clutch. If you have voltage and the a/c clutch doesn't engage then you have a problem with the clutch. I am assuming you have looked to see if the hub of the compressor is turning or not...
Lay upside down on the driver side floor. Follow the brake pedal up looking for a switch. When the pedal is fully released it should contact a stopper to push the switch in (turns brake lights off) make sure that stopper is still there and not broken.
